The Forsaken Part With Bassist

Swedish death metal act The Forsaken have parted ways with bassist Michael Hakansson and are currently looking for a suitable replacement.

Here is the rest:

Hakansson presumably left The Forsaken to pursue Evergrey fulltime as the band's latest full-length, In Search of Truth, is doing well at home and abroad. The Forasaken are expected to make an announcement shortly on who will fill the bassist's shoes.

In similar news, The Forsaken are expected to enter Tommy Tagtgren's Abyss Studios in the beginning of December to record the follow-up to Manifest of Hate, which the band already hails as a "blastfest." Artist Mike Bohatch has already been selected to work on the cover art for the band's second effort.

The Forsaken's as-yet-untitled full-length is due sometime in early 2002 on Century Media Records.
